You should read what you link to (emphasis mine).

Jail and prison are often used interchangeably as places of confinement. If you want to be specific jail can be used to describe a place for those awaiting trial or held for minor crimes, whereas prison describes a place for criminals convicted of serious crimes.

You said:

Jails are temporary holding areas until you get to see a judge. Which means you could still be innocent at that point.

You can be convicted and in jail, which makes perfect sense in Monopoly, since it's generally for a shorter period of time. They are both synonymous for the purpose of imprisoning somebody but different on how drastic the crimes you are behind bar for. In my opinion you should be in jail for minor crimes and not put in prison and it's perfect for Monopoly.

You should take your own advise.

While key differences exist between jails and prisons — jails typically house people awaiting trial and those serving short sentences, while prisons confine convicts long term — the Justice Department’s study remains illustrative of life behind bars….

Yep. That's the right definition. Not what you said. You said jail is for innocent people. You also said the definition doesn't differ no matter where you are and the link clearly defined the US can have a different interpretation (see interchangeable use).

You said jail is for innocent people.

So in other words you have reading problems and don’t understand basic English and grammar.

Now I just feel bad for you.

I don't have to distract with cheap ad-hominem attacks when I can quote your words right back to you:

Prison. Not jail.

Jails are temporary holding areas until you get to see a judge. Which means you could still be innocent at that point.

Read it one more time. Notice the word COULD.

I never said jails are for innocent people. I said it’s a holding cell for people who have yet to be tried. Which means they COULD be innocent.

Never heard of innocent before proven guilty?

Are you really this dense?

Reading problems.

Stop deflecting and stop trying to gaslight me. If prisons are the same as jails in this regard then why dispute? Why even bring it up? You're retroactively trying to save face.

I am fully aware how prisons and jails are similar and how they are different. You're the one who was trying to correct somebody and then got downvoted to oblivion.

Oh, but now you were just randomly bringing an unrelated technical point about how jails can hold innocent people now that you've been confronted with the facts. /s

Says the one trying to twist my words to win some moronic argument you already lost. You have a disease. Get help.

That's three ad-hominem attacks. But sure, those are your "arguments". Well argued. /s

But of course, when you have nothing meaningful to say, you just attack people. I guess that's to be expected. Just blame the person when you get called out. You could have taken this as a lesson and admitted you were wrong, and learned, but you decided to double down and insult people instead. Well argued.
